Tonight was one of those nights when a container of leftovers gets used up. in this case, it was a container of mostly roasted potatoes I had from earlier in the week. They had bits of Broccoli within that looked a bit tired so I pitched those and placed the potatoes into a vintage Le Creuset skillet to heat and brown more that I had added olive oil to, to brown them in.

Reheating and browning leftover gold potatoes from earlier in the week.

While they browned over medium high heat to begin with, I cut the Broccoli crowns into bite sized pieces and tossed them in my favorite stainless steel mixing bowl from Revere Ware that was once my Moms as it has rounded sides and is on the tall side for easy tossing. Again, I went with salt/pepper and Extra Virgin Olive Oil and tossed well, and onto my vintage Jelly Roll pan to roast under the broiler.

The roasted chicken drumsticks were bought at the deli dept at the Harvard QFC on my way home to make up the bulk of the dinner and it’s also where I bought the veggie as well.

All in all, with the chicken drumsticks rehearing in the microwave, the rest on the stove or ion the oven, it took me all of 20 minutes tops to make a nice meal.

And it was not expensive, but tasted mighty fine and was satiating too.

It’s now December and I’m still looking for a house or condo to buy as the market here in Seattle is hot and thus the housing prices are out of reach for those of us at the lower end of the pricing spectrum.

I did finally get a hold of my mortgage lender by phone and we are looking at what the numbers look like if I were to go with the lower end down payment assistance programs that are $10-20K instead of the Seattle loan of $45K. The advantage is I can now look outside of the city for an affordable place but she won’t be able to get to those numbers until later today. I’ve also contacted a Seattle City Council Member that is working on the housing issues within the city itself as both rents and now housing prices are going through the roof due to it being a hot market for everybody, and thus the lower end homes are either not coming on the market for fear of sellers not being able to find a place they can afford, or what IS in my price range are foreclosures etc to see what she says, or has any suggestions to offer. So we’ll see how that all plays out.

Meanwhile, also contacted my apartment manager to see if she has any ideas/suggestions on the rent since I have to split it more and more. However, she’s in a class and won’t be able to get back to me until mid afternoon. So we’ll see what she can offer, anything.

Thing is, I’m getting kind of desperate as my stress levels go up, my health is being affected, and all that as with the off/on again mold issue that plagues me every fall/winter whenever it rains now seems to be licked may be making me sick to a degree as my health has been up and down, and being under stress/depression isn’t helping things one bit.

Anyway, the rains have stopped, for now but my apartment is staying largely condensation free, so that’s good, though I did just note some condensation right at the bottom of the bedroom window, but it’s maybe an inch and a half so not too bad but still.

So just doing all that, by phone largely has helped reduce my stress some, and I’m feeling a bit better now.

For the first time in a month or so I have clarity of thought and am getting stuff done that I need to do to get a handle on my situation as I feel stuck, stymied, and desperate and run the risk of just chucking it all, though that thought has not happened as yet. I’m realizing I can’t do it all myself, I need some assistance, a helping hand to get what I need.

So maybe something good will come of all this, even if for the short term to ease the situation enough to be able to more forward on the bigger picture.

Today I decided I really, really needed to do something Chrismasy like this year even though there is no room for my 7 Ft tall artificial Christmas tree I bought at Big Lots in 2003 for a whopping $18, plus tax since i decided I didn’t want to deal with a real tree anymore, not with there being 4 flights of stairs to deal with every Christmas season, so why not? It’s held up very well and looks fantastic when lit with old skool C-7 strings with a combo of ceramic and transparent bulbs with some flashers. I need to get some more, and they can be had online, or at some stores (rare) since twinkle bulbs are not popular, but some Christmas Light websites will carry them so there you go.

Anyway, had wanted to get a Charlie Brown Tree for a while, like several years and finally just decided to get one as they only cost $15 at full retail, and include Linus’ blanket and the red ornament.

I had also thought what about a small silver tree about the same size, roughly 24″ tall that I can light and call it good? didn’t see anything at either urban Outfitters that once sold such trees in their stores, or at least at the one on Broadway next to the QFC anyway, along with the Charlie Brown tree too, but I found mine at the QFC/Fred Meyer combo hardware/grocery store at the Broadway Market, and just got that.

To light it, I had two strings of LED battery powered light strings I’d bought last year after Christmas for $2 each as they were reduced down (normally around $4 a set), and contain 15 LED’s on the string in red, green, blue and red in both twinkling or steady and run 120 hours on a pair of AA batteries. that means they run about 15 days per set of batteries if run for that long each day so not bad for LED when the older sets with incandescent lamps ran for something like 2-4 hours on 2 AA batteries so you’d need to replace every day with a fresh set of batteries, um, not good. So in this case, LED is the way to go.

So there you go and tomorrow, I’ll see if I have any plastic clips left as the ones I have had on my balcony railing have decayed and become broken so had to discard and set up a string of the classic C-9 set with the individual twinkle bulbs as I have left of those around my balcony for one more season, to you know, bring MORE Christmas cheer to my place this season.

The week before Thanksgiving, I headed to Costco to get at least the spinach for the casserole I was making for the Thanksgiving meal, my contribution in essence. For T-Day, I make a tradition in our family, Spinach and Artichoke Casserole. It’s a simple dish that involves frozen spinach (yuck), canned artichoke hearts (good), a package of cream cheese, and some cream to soften it into a spreadable consistency, and some parm cheese to mix in and to sprinkle on top.

Well, the bag of spinach was so I could sauté it on the stove the way I usually do it, with olive oil (extra virgin at that, or as Rachael Ray would say, EVOO), some salt and pepper and boom, sautéed spinach. However, the recipe calls for one 10 Oz package of the frozen stuff, and I had to double the recipe to feed the crowd we usually have. This involved squeezing out the water that they tend to have. When I sautéed up, I got some water, but not nearly as much and thus the squeezing out of the liquid (and oil) was much less, and with less mess to boot. To do this squeezing out of water, I use what is known as sack cloth, essentially cloth, sewed into sacks to store/ship the flour in, but this stuff is made for retail , so no printing on them at all, just plain white cotton that’s hemmed, and is fantastic for things like removing the course and fine particles out when straining say, beef stock instead of cheese cloth that is less effective, and only of one use only, the sack cloth can be bleached as needed and washed as normal for reuse. Best of all, they are NOT expensive.

So I ended up with a 2.5Lb bag of baby spinach that I had picked up at Costco, all washed and ready to use, just had to toss into my hot chicken fryer pan and sauté, dump into bowl, add more etc until I had about the amount I would need, in this case, about 26 oz of the stuff once cooked. I just cooked and weighed it in a bowl I had tared out to 0 so the bowl’s weight was discounted on my kitchen scale and added them up, tossing the spinach into a larger bowl. That left me with about a ¼ to a third of a bag left. This large bag is great when doing large quantities of the stuff as you don’t need to cut the stems off bunches, wash the dirt out, spin dry etc, just toss into pan and go, easy as that.

However, I also had broccoli in the fridge to use up, along with some sauerkraut that I also had to use up as I had made a wonderful sandwich that was inspired by the Reuben sandwich as well the week before that so had bought a Kielbasa, which was already cooked and used part of that with the leftover sauerkraut for one meal already and still had about half of that left, tossing out the last bits of the kraut so earlier this week, and still had the broccoli to use, to make a German like meal whereby the sausage was heated through and placed on the sauerkraut with the broccoli on the side that I had roasted until nice and charred in places. That was a delicious meal in and of itself. Then with the remaining half of the Kielbasa, I then made a pasta dish using some of the spinach that I sauteed and and added to it, along with some chicken stock and a spot of cream to make a cream based sauce of sorts, and that was good. That was earlier this week, and had the leftovers last night for dinner and thus I still had the last bits to make a nice veggie side for tonight’s meal.

I bought two roasted chicken thighs from the deli department of my favorite grocery store, and some mushrooms, I had the rest at home so the meal itself became browned white rice cooked in chicken stock with sautéed mushrooms with dill, a bit of thyme, and a sprinkle of oregano to make a nice rice side, and sautéed up the spinach as per usual and adding a dash of lemon juice at the end, along with salt/pepper, which became the other side, and reheated the two thighs in a pie plate in the warm oven that I turned on and stuck in as it warmed up (oven was at 350) and once all the rest was done, I took them out and assembled onto my plate.

This is a philosophy that Jenny ofpurchase Seroquel amex online without prescription (just called DALS) has been championing as a more realistic way to cook, and that is, it is OKAY to use a store bought deli roasted chicken if that is what you need to do to get dinner on the table on a busy weeknight. It is OKAY to use canned tomatoes and make a quick tomato sauce. It is OKAY to buy a bakery baguette and make a quick Tuesday night pizza with the dribs and drabs from your fridge.

There seems to be this movement that is totally at odds with reality where everything is make from scratch, and literally. That is your pizza dough should be made from scratch, your pizza sauce should be too, and that you should cook up a complex looking recipe for your weeknight meal, now is that realistic? No, not in the least – OK, you can make a quick from scratch tomato sauce that does not take much time (I often do this myself, sometimes using fresh maters if I have them on hand instead of a can, but either way, it works and is delicious), you can make pizza dough ahead and freeze and just take out and thaw (or just use a baguette from the bakery), you get the idea, there ARE recipes out there that DO take into consideration the time constraints, and energy levels of most of us real people on any given weeknight after a hard day at the office.

And so, with that, my meal as of tonight, it was filling, delicious, semi from scratch, and I did do more than open and heat because I had to you know, sauté the mushrooms and the spinach, which for some, it’s effort, but it’s little effort for a ton of flavor in a dish, and a great way to eat spinach than just boiling it. That was how I ate spinach growing up and I don’t even know where I got the idea to sauté it, I just began doing it about 20 years ago, and never looked back, it’s the best way to eat the stuff, as is roasting just about any vegetable as well. Just toss them in olive oil, salt and pepper and roast until charred and cooked through in a hot oven and if you want, you can drizzle them with some good balsamic vinegar, and maybe some shredded parmesan cheese. It’s good.

Almost any hearty veggie will work, squash, carrots, fennel bulb, a rutabaga, parsnips, cauliflower, broccoli etc, all will work nicely using this method, and there are others that are of similar types, even potatoes are fantastic roasted, just do them the same, though some herbs tossed in as well before tossing into the oven is even better, add some garlic slivers and bam, a great starchy side to go with say, a good steak.

The point is, during the week, dinnertime needs to be both filling, but also easy to fix and that everyone hopefully likes that takes no more than an hour of your time to prepare.

Tonight’s meal took me about 25 minutes to do from stem to stern, if you will as it was that easy, with the biggest thing cooking the rice. Even there, it was not much of an effort, once the rice got browned, then it was cook in 2 cups of chicken stock (from Better than Bouillon, a super concentrated chicken stock that you reconstitute with hot water before use that has great flavor and is NOT salty like a traditional bouillon will taste).

In any event, making a nice meal will take some effort, but it does not require super effort, or time if you know how to cook, and that is the biggest thing you can do to yourself, just keep things realistic and cooking will become something to look forward to.
